Find Best Price at Amazon"After doing a deep dive for some information, the internet scholars on a couple first-page forums have confirmed a few facts for me. Laser sensors have inherent issues - some complaints on the old 510 were that it exhibited cursor stutters, jitters, and shakes - and the modified design is likely to address those concerns. Fortunately, the folks at Logitech seem to be pragmatists and have figured that, while they took away some of the super-awesome DPI's, the mouse actually performs more satisfactorily during real-world use. I almost didn't even open the packaging because I thought it was counterfeit, so my first time using it was littered with skepticism."
"The new 2nd generation M510 uses a "laser grade" optical sensor whereas the 1st generation M510 used an actual laser sensor."
"This one is only a couple months old (a replacement through Amazon for another purchased one), and will no longer accept a left-click input (and will actually randomly toss in its own). Logitech makes great products, ordinarily, but I cannot recommend a model that has malfunctioned on me three times--especially since it's failed in roughly the same way all three times."

(it is, however significantly shorter than my fav mouse the Logitech G300 (Check pic). If you are on a tight budget and want a sturdy mouse, go ahead and buy this."
"As a college student who uses the internet for leisure and study purposes as well as basic Microsoft Office functions, I would classify myself as an average computer user. The primary reasons for purchasing this mouse was due to the numerous positive reviews on Amazon, as well as the price of $11.99. I have also found it quite durable as the mouse has been knocked off my desk a few times and shown almost no sign of damage, except for a small scuff on the lower right side. One feature that I have found useful for saving battery life is that the mouse turns off automatically after eight minutes of non-use. It is available for a good price, the build quality is superb, it is extremely comfortable to use, and it is very easy to utilize all of the mouse’s functions."
"?”, I always suggest that anyone buying a laptop at least get a wireless mouse. For a wireless mouse I look for the following: • Use on any surface laser. • Skids that slide well with ease on multiple surfaces. • Long term battery life. • Small USB receiver. • Comfort and size. • And above all else PRICE. The VicTsing MM057 checks off all of my criteria and more! I like to carry my laptop around with me throughout the day and the MM057 worked on every surface I put it on which allowed me to be truly mobile and move about how I wanted without having to carry around a mouse pad and worry about a flat surface, the MM057 will work on your jeans just fine if you are so inclined. There is convenient storage for the Micro USB receiver on the bottom of the mouse, so if you choose to unplug the receiver there is a safe place to store it so it does not get lost."

I need to be highly accurate in my video, photography & gaming life, the Proteus Spectrum enhanced all my computer work & play! I have bought 2 of them now & dropped them both several times hard....they still work perfectly and remain accurate. Using this for websites, photo editing & detail alignments in Adobe is a dream come true."
"Final thoughts on this mouse, give me more RGB lighting but other than that I have nothing bad in any way to say about this mouse although if you are left handed you are out of luck as it is only a right handed mouse but can be held in any form style easily and comfortably."
"I'd like to preface this review by stating that, even though I am not the primary user of this mouse, my incredibly patient husband took a lot of time answering my many questions about this mouse, demonstrated what it does, and read through my review before I submitted it so all of the information in here is accurate. My husband is an IT guy and computer gamer so he always purchases a programmable gaming mouse whenever he needs a new one. Prior to this mouse, he had the Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse which he really liked so when that one started wearing out after three years, he started searching for a good replacement. There was another mouse that he wanted instead of this one but it was older so he decided to purchase this one, since it is basically the newer version of the G500 and he really liked the number of programmable buttons (this was a requirement of his and the main reason he purchased this mouse). My husband also doesn't currently use a mouse pad so he was able to program the mouse to be more sensitive to a desk and it moves smoothly on his desk."

"The Good. - Uses 2 AA batteries that last up to 2 yrs (not verified). - Switch to power off/on to save battery life. - Rubber, tacky feel on grip points. - Lightweight, comfortable palm cradle. The Bad. - No printed materials directing you what to do next to setup the thing (yes, I know go to the website and download, but still). - Middle mouse wheel doesn't glide well. Feels like 800DPI. - Makes a lot of noise using the wheel. - No integration with Logitech Gaming Software as a device. The Ugly. - Arrived with back pouch opened. Some Stuff To Note. - Out of the box, I installed the small USB dongle into the back of my tower computer. Had to remove and put the USB dongle in the front header panel to get a clear, unobstructed path."

I only use the rumble for reloading weapons in games so far, but as soon as i can master the software ill make it work for me ."
"I've got corsair and Logitech products and have used their software. For me this software is in between, I'd say its quite a bit better than Logitech, and not quite as capable and easy as corsair, but only a bit less."
"I could argue that a few buttons could use better placement and maybe size reduction, but I'm not using those buttons anyway."
"Buttons are assignable, and the company pushes updates roughly 3-4 times per year."
"This is great for browsing the web, and you can bind those keys in games too. Also, as usual, the rainbow LEDs have very poor color coverage, so prepare for colors to be washed out and dull, especially on the logo area."
"When my favorite mouse decided to quit working, I had to choose a more durable mouse that was comfortable for a palm grip This mouse is everything I could have hoped for and more."
"The software for this mouse does a good job managing the mouse."
"Amazing mouse."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Clean deep bass. •CONS: 1. made completely of plastic. 2. small bit of static if you use them for recording. 3. super sensitive mic (this may not be a con). 4. the usb and 3.5mm jack are in the EXACT same place (meaning you can't power the lights and use the set at the same time unless you have another power source such as a small power stick if you plan on using it with xbox one or ps4). •VERDICT: if you're a regular person like me with a family and responsibilities, on a budget, or or looking to get into online gaming then by all means get them. Ignore all the bad reviews and try them for yourself, they sound good, comfortable, and if they break the company has some good customer service and are willing to try and resolve your issue (I tested this personally) even if you're out of warranty."
"I've been gaming all my life, and yet here I am as some twenty something and I have yet to purchase gaming headsets for a surround sound advantage to help immerse myself in games."
"These headphones make a great first impression with their stunning appearance and nice blue lights. These headphones give the clear sound needed for getting the slightest edge while gaming. The well-defined sound coupled with amazing isolation lets you hear in-game footsteps or objectives better than you ever could have with cheap earphones or speakers. The headphone’s comfort, fit, flexibility, durability is suitable for long gaming sessions. The mic will pick up your voice very well at any angle so you can clearly give instructions and objectives to your teammates. The only thing I found negative about these headphones were the fact you need both the USB and sound 3.5mm plug. The powerful sound drivers are spacious and can give you a nice punch that will make you feel like you are within the game itself. Along with the volume dial on the headphone cable, you also have a microphone mute near the same place."
"Great headset for the price."
"Great product perfect sound and not bulky excellent thing very satisfied!"
"Very comfortable and seems pretty solid for the price."
"Customer support is great!"

Want to make that gyro function control a mouse? Or, the right trigger soft pull change your mouse sensitivity to low while changing your scope button to your fire button, while enabling gyro and turning the mouse trackpad into a dpad on full pull, with your melee button becoming a quick unscope button... Or however you'd like. You can make any button on the controller switch the mode of the trackpad to the hotkey selection. The possibilities are endless, and all you need is to program it once in Big Picture; no, you don't have to use big picture to play your games, only to program the controller. Well, the Gyro function, the Hotkey Trackpad function, and the Area Selection function... Those are all new in the last update from a few days ago."
"What an incredibly versatile controller! -Those wacky buttons on the bottom of the controller. I honestly have been hoping controllers from every console would implement snappy paddles for a long time. ("Dual-Stage Triggers"). The Game-cube controller was the best feeling triggers before the Steam controller because of this feature. The Steam Controller has really, really clean and snappy feeling triggers. I just discovered today that you can assign haptic feeling to the triggers too, so if you just bind a button or a key to a soft-pull, you can have the whole controller 'thunk' when you pull it in slightly. In Counter-Strike, I do most of my aiming with the touch-pad because it feels intuitive, but when I want to aim just a tad right, I just keep my finger on the touch-pad, and move my controller a smidge towards the right. The gyro controls are so accurate and intuitive, I can control my automatic fire-spread, which is a level of precision that I can't achieve with anything else other than a mouse. The controller gives me tactile feedback on how much I'm adjusting my aim using the gyro controls. You're going to have to get used to it, just like any other controller. Or, if you're playing a flight game, you can set the gyro controls to pitch/yaw/roll control your plane while based tilt the controller (if you want). Summary: It takes getting used to, but after day five, you'll be complaining about how the Xbox controller has soggy-feeling triggers and doesn't let you aim right. I was vexxed at first by my thumbs going to the wrong place thanks to using an xbox controller, I was concerned by how different the inputs felt, but after going though the menus and making my own controller configurations for games, I don't think I can go back to any other controller. After I get a game all set up, I finally feel like I can forget that I'm using a controller, and really play the game, not fight with the controls."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I ended up taking the PS VR back to Best Buy. I've got a solid state C: drive and really didn't want to install there - but it was inordinately difficult to switch. One would think that the lines on top of the sensor should point to the general middle of where you will sit/stand. If you get them close enough to where they need to be, the install will show you how to twist things around - but it definitely seems odd setting them up originally. I can sit and stand and pretty much anything in between and both head and hands are tracked very well. On initial setup, you use the touch sensors with sound/vibration to delineate your play area without your Rift on. it sounds more complicated than it really is - I've got an oddly shaped area with other desks and bookshelves and it works just fine. Reloading is a neat flip of the hands and the sensors pick things up just fine. It can be tough finding your way around the world flying like Superman... Then the one I was really wanting to try... Elite Dangerous. Things to note here: if you already have Elite installed, you have to go into graphics settings and select the headset from the 3d options. Initial setup had me completely turned around in my chair in order to see the menu. You may have to fiddle with that a little bit to get your head properly seated in your in-game body. Eyes hurting from flying too close to that sun while doing a fuel scoop - just look around your cockpit to take a break! Okay - that one breaks the immersion a good bit as your body is left behind."
"I decided this generation of VR wasn't for me back when both systems were around $800, as I thought that price point was too high for the amount of value and content you received (especially on the Oculus side). When I checked over a year later and saw that the price had been cut in half, the Xbox controller had been replaced with Touch, an extra sensor was included, and 8+ games were given away for free, I decided to pull the trigger."
"I'm personally at a point in life where I don't know if I will survive long enough to see a device like this really evolve into something that will transform the way we game work and experience media. Games written specifically with VR in mind and especially those Occulus exclusives (Robo Recall, Mages Tale etc.). When it's losing tracking or you have tripped on a cable or your getting motion sick then you will quickly put it down for more traditional forms of entertainment."
